Team,
I want several computers within my office network to access the virtual machine running on a windows box. I have centOS installed on my virtual box.When i ran the ifconfig command; i see the the ip address : 10.0.2.15 and when i ran the ipconfig command on one of the computer on my network (windows) : Ip address: Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host-Only Network #2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::4911269f:de80%42

Now i want to access the virtual box linux os from any computer on this network.

You need to switch the NIC in the vm from NAT to bridged mode. It should then get its network config from DHCP on the LAN and work just like the other LAN machines.

If there is more than one NIC in the host, bridge the vm to the NIC which gets its config from DHCP on the LAN.

After changing the network settings to Bridge; below is my ifconfig result:

Which network do you want to connect the vm to? Which NIC of the host is in that network? Which NIC did you bridge to the vm?

For this to work you need to bridge the vm to the physical NIC in the host which connects to the network containing the machines you need to reach the vm. Does that network have DHCP server? The problem at the moment appears to be that your vm does not have an IPv4 address.
